Automated powered instruments designed to remove crimp seals and caps from tubes, bottles, and small containers (i.e., vials) used in medical procedures and/or laboratory tests; the automated instruments usually can perform reproducible decrimping cycles. These decrimpers may be handheld (e.g., pistol-like) or bench-mounted instruments that perform semi-automated decrimping controlled cycles using electric or pneumatic powered mechanisms. The electric instruments include battery-powered cordless decrimpers. Automated seal decrimpers are used in clinical laboratories, pharmacies, and/or other areas of healthcare facilities when great quantities (e.g., several hundreds) of operations are needed in a short time.
